Era-man Bhairon Singh Shekhawat
Shri Bhairon Singh Shekhawat was born on October 23, 1923 in
the village of Dhanteras, in a common Rajput farming family in Khacharias
village of Sikar places of Rajputana's Jaipur princely state. His father's name
was Devisingh Shekhawat and mother's name was Banankar. Bhairon Singh was the
first child of his parents. After them, three younger brothers and four sisters
were born. Bhainosinh's Nanihal was in the big village of Sahnali in Churu
district.
Thirty kilometer walk
Devisingh, father of Bhairon Singh, was an ideal teacher.
Devi Singh, the opponent of conservatism and the leader of Samata in society,
never bowed down in front of the evils. Due to this habit, once he left his
village and started living in Bichidana village of Sawimadhopur district.
That's where he got his early education. Bhairon Singh received the beautiful
handwriting and discipline inherited from the father. After a few years of
studying in the beechdana, he was sent to the angolovidic school of Jobner. At
that time the motors were not. Many times he crossed the distance of 30 km from
Jobanar to Khotriwas. After passing the high school examination, he was
admitted in the first year of Maharaja College, Jaipur, in AD1.141. During
college education, he also participated in plays.
Procession under the peepal tree
On July 3, 1941, he was married to Surajkhar of Bukhkala
village of Jodhpur state. His procession reached the train from Jobanar to
Pipad Road, and from there he took a seat in the bullock cart and reached
Bukhlak. His brochure at Bukkala was held two days under the buffalo of
Apadalia Berra. In Bhairon Singh's in-laws, Sisur Kalyan Singh Rathore, Saas
Sadakon, five children and one sister. Bhairon Singh's wife Surajkarna was the
youngest of her peers.
Nadi's water, Piya
Bhairon Singh, after her marriage, reached her in-laws at
Bukchalka on foot from Pipad Road. When he was thirsty in the middle road, he
drank water in his hands with a palm. This caused them Naru Disease. The mark
of this disease remained on his body throughout his life. When Bhairon Singh
was Vice-President in 2004, he was again rebuked and he told this story in the
General Assembly there.
Father's head lifted
Devisingh Shekhawat passed away in the year 1942. After this
the mother-in-law Kanwar played the responsibility of raising the family. His
mother worked hard and ran the family. How often did Bhaironing himself repeat
this matter about how his mother used to run a mill. But Bhairon Singh's
studies did not go forward. Bhairon Singh got the job of Assistant Sub
Inspector in the Police Department of Sikar Places for the family's discharge
but the police job was not given to him. His mind started bent towards politics.
The impostors made them Bhairon Singh
Once in his village, a group of sticks got cluttered across
the fields. After this, the government has reached to take out the proceedings.
A new Bhairon Singh came out of the spirit of protest against this imposition.
His mother used to say that a Pandit had told them that Bhairon Singh would
illuminate the village and family name. E. In 1952, there was no difference in
his behavior from becoming a legislator till his last time.
In
the first general election of 1952, the Jana Sangh was not
getting any suitable candidate from Danta Ramgarh. Then Bishan Singh Shekhawat
suggested LK Advani that one of my brothers Bhairon Singh Shekhawat is in the
police, you give him the ticket. He was given the ticket of MLA on this.
Ten rupees for sunsets
To fight elections, it was necessary to go to Sikar and to
pay Sikar it was necessary to have money in pocket but there was nothing in
Manabhai Bhairon's pocket. He asked for 10 rupees from his wife. Liberal wife
fulfilled her demand and Bhairon Singh came to Sikar with ten rupees. After
this he joined the Jana Sangh. He got a Jana Sangh ticket with lamp election
symbol and he became the first assembly member of Rajasthan by winning with
2,833 votes.
Support for eradication of slavery
In September 1951, Dr. Shyama Prasad Mukherjee and Pt
Deendayal Upadhyay had established Jana Sangh. In order to establish the
branches of Jana Sangh to the villages and panchayats, the jagirdars
contributed well. He hoped that Jana Sangh would get help in continuing the
feudal system. In the first assembly of the state assembly, Jansangh has
fielded candidates in 50 seats with the help of fighter. 30 of them got
confiscated. Only eight MLAs from the Jana Sangh, including Bhairon Singh, were
mostly jagirs. When the first elected government of Rajasthan started the
eradication of junkyard, the Jansangh's MLAs stood against it, but Bhairon
Singh Shekhawat and Jagatsingh Hatha supported the eradication of the feudal
system. Six of the party's MLAs, who were themselves aloof, Bhairon Singh
started the efforts to get him out of the Jan Sangh. On this Bhairon Singh
Shekhawat met Delhi and Shyamaprasad Mukherjee and Deen Dayal Upadhyay. Both
leaders agreed with the arguments of Bhairon Singh and disciplinary action was
taken against the vassal legislators.
, His devotion, devotion and dedication to Bharat Mata were
inevitable . When he became MLA from Jana Sangh in 1952, he leaned towards the
National Self-Service Union. They often used to wear Sangh's uniform in Sangh's
programs. He has always maintained this humility towards Bharat Mata.

of the poor. They recruited all employees who were fired during the emergency
and they gave them all the financial benefits of the period as long as they
were held. After the Emergency, the prominent people came out of the jails but
many ordinary people were still locked up in prisons. The government of Bhairon
Singh Shekhawat also brought them all out of jail.
Constitution of Justice Kansingh Parihar Commission

with the public. In order to counter their resistance, the Bhairon Singh
Shekhawat government constituted a one-member commission headed by retired
Justice Kan Singh, Rajasthan High Court. This commission has stacked
complaints. These applications were related to the abolition of legitimate
constructions in the emergency by forcibly sterilizing, forcible retirement, unnecessary
detention and encroachment. Justice Parihar hardly classified these complaints
and prepared five hundred reports related to them. Only a few of these
representations can be done by the government. Prior to the remainder of the
proceedings, the state was re-elected again in the state.

to work in the secretariat till late night. His mother did not understand what
the son has done in the job. Neither comes home at the time and ate food at the

Son did a job similar to that, which Khaoba did not find, nor did Soba get You
leave a job, quit a job

his house to take action against Bhairon Singh Shekhawat's government. Some
cabinet ministers and legislators of the Bhairon Singh Shekhawat Cabinet were
also included in this. This thing became known to Bhairon Singh Shekhawat. On
this, Shekhawat called him and asked him why he did not call me at the banquet.
I am coming. Within half an hour, Shekhawat reached Janardan Singh's house. The
entire plan of Janardan Singh was completely lost.

poor as the fifth pillar of democracy, their paramount authority should be
established on the resources of the country.
Father of antodaya scheme
Bhairon Singh Shekhawat favored the honorable life of the
poor. For this, he made Antyodaya Yojana and implemented it first in Rajasthan.
In the initial provisions of this scheme, the selection of the poorest five
families from each village was made available to them for providing various
financial activities, such as animal husbandry, cottage industry, uttagara etc
loans to banks at less interest. Later this scheme came into effect all over
the country and further became the mainstay of Integrated Rural Development
Scheme. In relation to this plan, he had to say - as a result of deformity in
one part of the body affects the whole body, in the same way, there is an
impact on people due to distortion in the society anywhere. The Antyodaya
Yojana of this scheme is a successful experiment. The United Nations praised
this plan. Even today, the scheme is being run by the Government of India as a
Centrally Sponsored Scheme.

President of World Bank, Robert McManmar, appreciated Bhairon Singh as the Rockefeller
of India while appreciating this plan.

started his own village plan for work and work. These schemes were considered
extremely useful for the eradication of poverty. After some time, on the
instructions of the Central Government, the Antyodaya Yojana was changed to
work in exchange for work. In this scheme Rajasthan has done the highest work
in all other states and raised 1,80,000 tonnes of foodgrains. Because of this,
the World Bank also came forward to assist the State Government to conduct
these schemes.
